My Story

As an author, I seek to blur the lines between genres and interrogate identity. I write in all forms and genres and enjoy watching writers grow into their own styles and voices.

 

As a reader, I choose books that are relatable as well as those that make me think and reevaluate my paradigms. I enjoy reviewing such books as well as books that challenge me, make me laugh and books that are just cozy.

 

As a freelance editor, I seek to make your work come alive in visceral and unique ways. I offer a wide variety of editing services from proofreading to sensitivity reading and copy editing. I work with everyone from first time authors, to business owners and even large companies.​ I have had the privilege of working with such companies as National Novel Writing Month, Red Line Editorial and Westchester Educational Services.

Client Testimonials

Chyina Powell read my manuscript of ~92,000 words as a beta reader, which included in-line commentary as well as a feedback form. Throughout, Chyina was communicative and pleasant to work with. She left insightful comments on my manuscript which really helped in assessing both the plot as well as the prose. I particularly appreciated her advice on how to improve some elements of the writing, and increase tension overall. I highly recommend Chyina for anyone looking for an honest beta read! 5/5 stars.

Novel Beta Read

Chyina is so skilled! She shared so much instructive feedback with me and opened my eyes to so many aspects of writing I hadn't considered before. I'm incredibly grateful for her immense knowledge and patience with me. Can't recommend her enough! :)

Novel Sensitivity Read

She made my manuscript make so much more sense!
